Interviewed May 2012 in Hyderabad (India) (took 1 week)
After the initial resume screening, there was a phone screening. After which I got a call for a face to face at the Google office. The interview was nothing about technical skills but trying to guage out of box thinking, perseverence and problem solving. It started off with talking about my skills and experience then why Google and then it went to scenarios. The scenarios were related to the product I was supposed to be working on as well as some about common Google products. At no point you are made even slightly nervous or given a hint if you are not doing well.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 1+ week)
Horrible and hard to re think again, tough question and hifty environment. Let me explain how it started from,I applied online on the company website. About a week later, I got an email to schedule two back-to-back phone interviews in < a week. Second one was rescheduled last minute to next week. Both phone interviewers went very smoothly and the interviewers were very polite and easy to speak with. Each were an hour in length, with maybe the first 10-15 minutes of resume questions, background, etc., then it quickly became technical. I coded in a shared Google Doc for both. The first interviewer asked for whatever language (I chose C++), but the second one insisted on Python (which I was happy to oblige, it's actually my favorite to hack in). I had those two on my resume, so I assume they were probing me to see if I was lying. They will not ask you anything not on your resume and conversely, don't lie/exaggerate as if one of the largest tech. companies doesn't encounter that on a daily basis!

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 months)
Resume was referred by a friend at Google. That helped me get a chance at an interview. Initial screening done over the phone to understand my background and my fit for the job. Once this was cleared, I was flown to Hyderabad for 1:1 interviews.
The interviewers usually are on time and take a lot of notes. Questions asked were on generic management, managing teams and people, project management, online advertising, How will you monetize google's assets etc?
The second interview was with a manager from a different team. Questions around how can Google compete with facebook, How can you control spam on Social Networks etc.
After that I had 2 interviews via phone with teams from MTV and Australia. Questions are similar, though some interviewers really drill you down. Two questions which we spent a lot of time on were -- 1. What are the 3 major changes you would make on any google product and 2. After you have made those changes, how will you make that a billion$ business.
Once the interviews are done, a long wait begins for the HR to communicate the next steps. This is the period of uncertainity. Though the HR does provide an update, it is mostly reactive.

Negotiation Details
Google salaries are NOT the best in the Industry. Be prepared to receive a low ball offer. Persuasive conversations can cause a marginal change but do not expect a 30-40% hike.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Background Check, a 1:1 Interview and a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 days)
Applied online for Product Mgr role in the Hyderabad office and 3 weeks or so later got an email from HR., by when I returned to the US. The HR person got the interview date mixed up so I received a call a day earlier than expected. I mentioned to the interview about the mix up and he was polite and rescheduled it for the correct day. Next day, a different person called (this time from India), he was on a speaker phone typing away on his PC while I was talking and the line just wasn't clear.
Overall, good thought provoking questions and although I felt my answers were good, didn;t make it.
